The Assam Assembly has passed 'The Uniform Civil Code, Assam, Bill, 2026.' The state government introduced the Bill on Monday, proposing a common legal framework for marriage, divorce, succession, and live-in relationships, regardless of faith.

The ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) leaders have welcomed the move, calling it historic. Bharatiya Janata Party MLA Diganta Kalita said this day would be remembered as a significant milestone for the 16th Assam Legislative Assembly after the bill was introduced.
